Problem installing ssd in the new HP H8 - 1437c

I installed and cloned the C: drive on the new SSD using the data migration software provided with the SSD drive. I use Windows 8.

  • How can I now boot from the SSD?  I tried to set it as the startup disk.
  • What I first need to erase the original HD? or is it possible to keep windows on both drives?
  • Can I migrate the original HD recovery partition to SSD?

I moved the SATA cable for the SSD drive to post the original HD was in.  I also tried to disconnect the original HD and just boot from the SSD drive, but Windows doesn't load.

This is a brand new computer and I'm moving all on the SSD before starting to install anything.  The SSD is 120 GB and has plenty of room for the operating system.

I'm not familiar with the system bios UEFI (spelling?).  Why not just select to boot from the SSD drive? What is 'Bootable Windows disc'

Thanks guys I think I solved it. I used these instructions to change the drive letter.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223188
